MINIMUM COST REPLACEMENT UNDER MARKOVIAN DETERIORATION.
Abstract
Optimal replacement programs for equipment subject to Markovian deterioration are considered. Interest is in determining the structure of the replacement policies that minimize the long run average costs. In particular, conditions under which control limit replacement rules are optimal are determined. In addition results are obtained indicating that linear programming is an efficient method for computing optimal policies. (Author)
